The screen does not scroll and remains static. While the latter had 8 directions to move, the Ultratron gives you complete freedom of movement. I mean we used to play LCD games that moved like that and to make my 400 dollar game machine do such basic graphics is…well, insulting the PS4.Ultratron - top-down shooter inspired by Robotron 2084. Second, even though I love the simulated vector graphics….I find the enemies very basic and “ascii” character like. Visually, it’s hard to see, very unfriendly to people who have eye troubles and color problems. I must say that it’s not my type of game. Well I just went ahead and check out the youtube video on this game. This game better be awesome or I’ll hate it. I mean I am so sick of “retro” as an excuse, a crutch for indies to go on. And if not done right, I would really hate it. Although I love the twin stick shooter, it doesn’t have to be retro for me to love it.

But in todays world we live in the HD era, where if it aint 1080p 60f then we’re not impress. Robotron was one of my favorite back then. I love super stardust and other games like it today. One that endure to this day is the twin stick shooter. Graphically it aint much, but the controllers were ingenious. Games back in the 80’s have everything to do with the controller. We hope you enjoy being transported back in time - without the risk of accidentally splitting your parents up. Ultratron will be available on all PlayStation formats on May 12th. There’s even a simulated CRT screen curve designed to mimic the displays of the era, which were the opposite of high definition. The visuals are hypnotic - modern, with a retro twist. Whilst the core old-school gameplay remains, Puppygames has brought the genre bang up to date, with a host of unlocks and upgrades designed to keep players challenged way into the night.
Blast your way through 40-plus glowing neon levels, avoiding Chasers, Turrets, Spawners, Minelayers, bombs, and bullets, and take on the four giant boss ‘bots of the Apocalypse:” Leiunitas, Bellum, Lues, and Letum. Boost your battledroid with power-ups, buy cute but deadly pets in the shop. You are the one remaining humanoid battle droid.
The last human has been slain by evil killer robots.
#Ultratron version update#
Ultratron - which is out globally on PS4, PS3, and PS Vita (cross buy) on May 12th - is what happens when you take the spirit of Robotron but update it for the PlayStation generation. I could not tell you how much I spent on Robotron. Those who managed to digitally carve their initials into the high score tables were truly gods among teenagers. It popularized the twin-stick control scheme now used widely across a range of games and genres. Looking at screenshots of Robotron 2084 these days, it’s impossible to appreciate the sense of terror created by that particular cabinet. We all have our favorites - but surely one game which has the ability to transport anyone of - ahem - a certain age back in time is Robotron 2084. A modern-day doorbell probably has more oomph than some of the games back then.īut what they lacked in visuals, they more than made up for in gameplay.

Initially popping up on seaside towns, these imposing machines were worshiped by teenagers, drawn towards them with pockets full of change.Ĭompared to now, these arcade cabinets were technically limited, meaning designers learned to innovate, creating stunning games within basic hardware confines. The 1980s were the years that the video game arcades rose to prominence. It’s tempting to look back and laugh at People From The 80s, but many things we enjoy now can be traced back to that period. It was the decade of shoulder pads, big hair, linen trousers, and soft rock.
Things improved dramatically in the following decade. Genuinely, I struggle to think of anything good that happened during that time - it was broadly rendered in black and white, and the weather had the default setting of miserable. I was born in the 70s, which is a decade that no one really remembers because it was pretty grim. Also, I’m here to tell you what it’s like to be the oldest person alive. It’s Simon Byron from Curve Digital, and I’m here to tell you that Ultratron is coming to PS4, PS3, and PS Vita on May 12th.
